Funeral Directors "Funeral Arrangements John Durkan" W. N. Reynolds Wyoming County's last Civil War Vet he is the only one left of the Guard of Honor at Lincoln's bier. "After Abraham Lincoln's as asassination," he says, "the body was brought to Philadelphia. My brother Albert and because of our service with the famous regiment, were among those chosen to act as the guard of honor while the martyred president's body reposed in the bier." Commander Reynolds has steadfastly refused to recount his experiences under the ordeal of fire.

He dismisses all efforts to make him relate his frantic fighting with the remark "It's all too terrible." In his belief, the greatest bulk of the Northern Army was con candles, sugar and syrup. Why, all the folks bought at that time was practically pepper and salt." "All the greatest improvements," he continues, "which today are regarded as necessities, have occurred during my lifetime. "The only thing that preceded me was the invention of the telegraph. Otherwise, most of the innovations that are commonplace today, were unknown to my people." Commander Reynolds comes from a long line of military ancestors. His forbearers have figured in martial activities since the Revolutionary War.

Even today he nas a grandson and a son in law in the army service. A lawyer by profession, he is dean of the law firm of Reynolds, Doran and Reynolds, Wilkes Barre. He is actively engaged in the practice of his legal talent. He loves flowers. Much of his spare time is devoted to the planting and tending of his plants in his well kept garden.

He is also fond of trees. In good health, he terms his condition "sound and fine." He attributes his general well being to the "good care of my wife and son." Mrs. Reynolds is now dead. The stately Reynolds mansion, located in the heart of Tunkhan nock's business' sectieii, affords the aged veteran a fine view of the mountains that encircle the town. The commander lives with his only son, W.

N. Reynolds Jr. Their home is a veritable storehouse of treasures collected from all parts of the world. A part of it has been transformed into a museum and here between 500 and 600 people come to view his acquisitions annually. Just now father and son are contemplating a trip to Mexico and California.

They plan to start about December 1 find will be away for the Winter. The son is his law partner, confidante, traveling companion, chum and assistant in all his undertakings. They lead a life not unlike that of two bachelor friends. Both have the same interests and enjoy the same pleasures. Both are soldiers the son having served as a major in the Spanish American War.

At the time of enlistment, Commander Reynolds was so young and tender, that his father remarked he was going to war "to look after my youngest son." Father Killed in Conflict The father met his fate on the battlefield.

Wounded during a bombardment, he died soon afterward. An elder brother was wounded and incapacitated. Another brother died of sunstroke while on a gruelling march.
